Evidence Review

Some early research suggests eating more garlic might be linked to a lower risk of developing multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer.
Laboratory studies have shown that compounds in garlic can slow the growth of multiple myeloma cells and help kill cancer cells in animals.
However, there is not enough solid evidence from human studies yet to say garlic can prevent or treat this disease.
More studies are needed to know for sure.
